PRESS RELEASE 21 October 2020
Pope Francis supports civil unions – he must now act to revise teaching to allow blessings and remove hurtful language
We Are Church Ireland warmly welcomes the wonderful news that Pope Francis supports civil unions for Same Gender couples. This is a hugely significant step for Pope Francis and the Catholic Church.
We call on Pope Francis to follow up his wonderful words with actions to introduce church blessings for Same Gender couples and to revise teaching to remove the descriptions of LGBTQ+ people as objectively disordered and their love as intrinsically evil.
